Yes, certainly and that will impact also the menu select governor function:

Hmm.. For now I will repost this patch as is and then you can go ahead
for this bigger change.. I wouldn't be able to do this change now, as I
would be rushing for my 2 weeks vacations :)

If this patch looked okay to you, can you please Ack it ?
